Chapter 2500
Everyone focused on Li Qiye, just waiting for him to pass on his throne to Eight Formation True Emperor .
“Nine secrets…” Li Qiye smiled while sitting on his throne and resting his legs on the table, seemingly not in a hurry at all .
“Is he buying time?” Someone murmured after seeing him just sitting there .
“It’s useless since he can’t delay for a lifetime . Not to mention taking out all nine, if he can’t comprehend them, he’ll have to abdicate . ” A senior shook his head .
The two old men next to Hanyu didn’t miss a single move . In their mind, his attempt was utterly futile so they waited for the inevitable announcement . If he dared to renege, they would attack without holding back .
Unfortunately for the waiting spectators, the guy continued to stare towards the horizon with a grin on his face .
“Hurry up and try to comprehend the nine words already, so that we can broaden our horizons . ” One spectator in the distance couldn’t help but shout .
“That’s right, learn them now . We haven’t seen anyone capable of this until you . ” The crowd loudly chimed in .
The humiliated geniuses back in the stone forest were even more boisterous: “Don’t play the hero if you can’t do it, just announce your abdication . Who doesn’t already know that you’re a useless and idiotic king? No need to waste time . ”
They didn’t want to miss the chance of kicking the man when he’s down as payback for the previous humiliation . Although they couldn’t personally dish it out, this was still a rare chance to vent .
Li Qiye didn’t care about the taunts and sarcasm, evident by the persisting smile on his face .
“How long until you start?” Bingchi Hanyu finally spoke .
Of course, she wasn’t in a hurry because victory was already within her grasp . The only thing she needed to do was prevent him from reneging .
He asked with a question instead: “You’re trying so hard to give him an advantage, do you think he would risk his life to save you once you’ve become my prisoner?”
“Such a thing will never happen . ” She strongly responded .
“Don’t be so sure now . I’m about to learn the nine words and your fate will be up to my whims . ” He smiled .
“You can say this again after learning the nine words . ” She snorted .
“I suddenly have another interesting thought . ” He grinned: “Tell me, after I make you my slave and train you, do you think your fiance will still marry you, someone who had been a slave?”
Hanyu’s expression was shrouded by coldness from annoyance .
“Watch your words!” One of the two old men shouted again, eyes brimming with murderous intent .
He rubbed his chin and kept on speaking: “I suddenly feel that there are still fun things to do in this world? Maybe I should spare Eight Formation True Emperor and we’ll see if he can ever escape from my shadow?”
The crowd glanced at each other, thinking about something else . Whether the king was a piece of trash was still up for debate, but one thing was for certain - the fact that he was a perverted . Only someone with these characteristics would have such a crazy thought .
The saber saint’s eyes narrowed, becoming a bit skeptical after hearing the insanity of it all . Could a useless king come up with such a bold idea?
Jianyao felt a jolt of fear out of nowhere, thinking that this king was a terrorizing existence, a dark hand behind the curtains controlling everything .
“Hurry up now . ” Hanyu uttered: “Buying time is useless, just give up and pass your throne to Eight Formation True Emperor . ”
“Stop wasting people’s time! A king like you only brings trouble to the people!” Someone else shouted .
“A piece of trash like you can only figure out the nine words in your dream! Even a True Emperor can’t do so, so who do you think you are, clown!” More and more people started to protest, especially those who have kneeled before Li Qiye before .
Li Qiye’s eyes became serious but the smile was still there: “Just the nine words, can’t reach the apex . Watch how easy it is . ”
With that, he casually raised his right hand .
Everyone suddenly felt as if the land of Nine-linked Mountains was being torn apart . The place itself was a massive primal beast but with a wave of his hand, its fur and skin were flayed in entirety .
People thought that the ground felt soft and light, on the verge of collapsing at any moment despite being solid .
A small maelstrom took form in his right palm . With quiet buzzes, the space in this place flapped like a cicada’s wings . In this blink of an eye, needle-like strands of lights drilled out of the dao land . Each was around a meter long with a brilliant, golden glow . As they slowly floated to the air, the entire mountain range became an ocean of light .
These golden needles spanned as far as the eye can see . If they were to fall down, the sect would turn into a sieve .
Everyone became slack-jawed since they didn’t know what was going on . Jianyao turned pale and couldn’t believe her own wide eyes from astonishment .
The saber saint had no knowledge of this either but he could tell that the profundities within were beyond his comprehension .
Keep in mind that he had trained in numerous merit laws but he couldn’t tell anything from the countless strands of light .
Hanyu was also unaware but she felt something ominous in this instant as if her fate was no longer her own . Someone else had grasped it and she was powerless to stop them .
Hexiang put on a serious expression and gripped his golden spear tightly, eyes flashing with murderous intent .
Deeper in the mountain range, the woodcutter was also watching, his brows slightly furrowed . He couldn’t do anything but sigh: “For millions and millions of years, so many try for a lifetime only to fail, but for a few existences, it comes so easily . The cultivators and gods are mere insects before a real overlord . ”
He continued smoking his pipe without taking action for he knew just how terrifying Li Qiye was . Even his soulbound artifact was taken so easily . The guy must be, at the very least, a progenitor - not someone he could handle at all .
